Achieves Milestone of Largest Installed Base With 2.5M Virtual Desktops Sold

REDWOOD CITY, California, August 30, 2010 - NComputing, a global leader in desktop virtualization, today announced
expanded operations including international senior hires, country expansion,
an aggressive channel expansion program, an enhanced OEM program, and
integrated solutions with Microsoft, Citrix, and VMware. These actions are in
response to growing global market adoption of the company's desktop
virtualization devices and technologies. NComputing is experiencing
broadening enterprise acceptance and continued education success across all
international regions, with year-over-year revenue increasing 40 percent.

NComputing's recently introduced enterprise-optimized L300 desktop
virtualization solution achieved swift and strong adoption, helping solidify
its position as the leading desktop virtualization provider in the enterprise
segment. The fast adoption of new products, coupled with a series of vendor
and channel strategic alliances, have been key drivers to accelerated growth,
In Q4, NComputing will roll-out joint marketing and education campaigns with
strategic industry partners to further increase understanding and adoption of
desktop virtualization in the enterprise. The company will also be expanding
operations with sales and channel presence in Latin America, Korea and Japan
in Q3 and Q4. To further expand enterprise adoption, the company has
introduced an enhanced channel partner program designed to provide corporate
VARs and System Integrators with improved revenue, margin and customer
opportunities.

As well as strong increase in end-user demand, OEM demand for
NComputing's Numo(TM) powered SoC (System on a Chip) is gaining momentum.
Several OEM monitor, netbook and consumer device manufacturers are shortly
going into production using Numo(TM) specification to provide access to
low-cost PC functionality in a networked environment while delivering
full-fidelity mul­timedia. The company is expanding its OEM partnership and
technology support programs throughout key geographies.

IDC's Q2 2010 Worldwide Enterprise Client Devices Tracker highlights just
one aspect of NComputing's leadership in desktop virtualization, ranking the
company #2 in worldwide shipments at 20.9% share and fastest quarter on
quarter growth at 56% (when combining the thin client and terminal client
categories).

Commented CEO Stephen Dukker "to date, many of the large global PC and
chip manufacturers have been barriers to the mainstream adoption of desktop
virtualization because of their economic interest and legacy investment in
the old 'PC per desktop' centric IT infrastructure by maintaining
artificially high prices. NComputing's dramatic success with vSpace and our
low cost clients demonstrate the truly disruptive economics of virtual
desktops when naturally priced; reducing all client related costs by 50% or
more compared to traditional PCs. International momentum from all sides -
education, government, enterprise; plus cooperation and interoperability on
an industry-wide level such as ours with leading virtualization companies
including VMWare, Microsoft and Citrix has put the 'old guard' on notice.
Desktop virtualization is ready to go mainstream. NComputing has and will
continue to lead in this space and deliver on our promise of transforming the
economics of computing."

To help manage and accelerate international growth, the company has made
a series of senior hires including the appointment of Jim McHugh, formerly
Vice President of Data Center Software Marketing at Sun Microsystems to the
position of SVP Global Marketing, Paul Gullett, formerly EMEA President of
Tandberg, to the position of VP EMEA.

NComputing continues to lead in the education sector, maintaining a 15
percent share of PC's in the US K12 market. New and extended education
contracts include the Indian education ministries of Punjab and Rajasthan
provinces, and Government of Bihar India, which combined deployed over 30,000
seats of NComputing based virtual desktops on solutions to provide computer
literacy to tens of thousands of school children. The Government of
Macedonia, Eastern Europe, extended its contract with NComputing to provide
an additional 60,000 virtual desktops, bringing the total number of
NComputing virtual desktops in Macedonian schools to over 200,000.

NComputing has already deployed some of the world's largest enterprise
desktop virtualization initiatives including The Employee State Insurance
Corporation (ESIC), deploying over 31,000 NComputing Virtual Desktops across
2,200 locations in support of the Indian Government's effort to deliver
insurance and healthcare benefits to over 20 million private- and
public-sector employees.
